Yes you can use a custom validator. In your aspx file add your custom validator as you would normally do except, DO NOT fill in the ControlToValidate attribute. In your codebehind file (e.g. aspx.vb) add your ServerValidate message to do your testing of the dates. Here is some quick code txtStartDate and txtEndDate are text boxes Private Sub customDate_ServerValidate(ByVal source As Object, ByVal args As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs) Handles customDate.ServerValidate Dim startDate As Date = Convert.ToDateTime(me.txtStartDate.Text.Trim) Dim endDate As Date = Convert.ToDateTime(me.txtEndDate.Text.Trim) 'make sure the start date is before the end date args.IsValid = (startDate < endDate) End Sub Hope this helps...you also might want to put a Try/Catch block to protect against bad input/conversions.
